Overview#

An IoT EventDefinition is a known event type maintained in the IoT Hub.

The IoT Event Definition is the entity that represents the event that will be received by the Data Platform. It contains the necessary information describing the event structure required to perform event validation, sanity checks and relations with other MES Entities (e.g. Material or Resource).

Each IoT Event Definition is internally represented by a JSON document which is the de facto information unit stored and passed between all the Data Platform Modules.
